Billingshurst Surgery 2023-09-08 Person 1 5 0

I was given an appointment for an annual review but the nurse refused to carry this out as I have no pre-existing health issues, I' am assuming she meant someoneon the QOF Register. I explained that I haven't had a medical review since we moved to this surgery and, in fact, not since I had my hip replacement 2017. When I questioned that surely it was good preventative measures to review patients periodically she suggested I go elsewhere.

I have not received a medical review since joining the Billingshurst Surgery in January, 2020 which is at odds with anyone else's experience when moving to a new Surgery. Friends our age have automatically been invited for a review of their medical history, medication review and baseline blood tests. Surely it is better to catch anything in the early stages rather than wait until there are problems. When I questioned how I might get thus modicum of healthcare, I was told I have to see a GP fir this to be prescribed.
